Buzz,
Having read your posts for a long time here (and your books), I respect your opinion in a way I don't, say, Lumberg or alfa or some of the more strident alpaoids. I'll take your recommendation to walk it back a little, or a little more than a little. :o

No worries Jungle. Looking forward to seeing you on campus. Hope its soon.

-- he never said it sucks to be here, YOU said that and attributed it to him.
-- he never called anyone cheese eating surrender monkeys, YOU used that phrase to belittle his argument and exacerbate his position to make your constant bullying seem more palatable to the crowd-- "look everyone, I'm making fun of the retarded kid, aren't I cool?" is your constant tactic.
--Why would he want to work here? A hundred reasons you could think of yourself if you weren't so much in the mode of "if you don't like it, you can't play with my ball".
-- more $$$$
-- better work rules
-- better quality of life
-- varied flying
-- career progression
-- he probably would NOT have to actually fly with you, or very many folks like you. This is one of the things I'm glad of on every trip, I have never had to fly with anyone I find as annoying as I do you, because in large part Delta pilots are mature and respectful.
-- Fun trips with decent dudes (mostly), witness even 90% of the posts here on this argumentative forum which are humorous and enjoyable to one's day (not yours generally).
-- way more $$ again. People will do some pretty crappy jobs for a chance at a better life for their family. I'm sure you see guys bite the bullet like that daily.

Sorry guy, but I'm just getting sick of your constant attacks on anyone who disagreed with the TA, the TA vote, or your opinions, or wants to point out "we were right...". I'm whole-heartedly in favor of FlyAllNite's opinion that this regional attack topic needs a rest and more humor should flow, but you deserve to get finger-wagged first. Seriously, a few lines of post critiquing the TA yes voters doesn't equal an all-out attack on 2/3 of the Delta list that must be met with napalm and nukes...

Nicely said. I feel our pilot group should be best compensated pilot group in the world. We're not. As a matter of fact, we are at least 3rd or lower in our own country. Tsquare has come to the conclusion that we will never be industry leading in compensation. His solution is for me to just quit. That's his solution for anyone that is not happy with status quo. What a team player.

Hey now, don't just pencil-whip that ops-check. Get back out there and get some hands-on time, really make sure everything is in rig man! We're counting on you to make sure that ship's trim is in rig and tight.

The thread is as cyclical as the industry.

DPA vs ALPA
When are we hiring?
Who got the raw end of the deal in the merger?
Regional pilots vs mainline in scope, who is to blame?
Underboob.

Repeat from the beginning.

Sometimes FTB posts some good charts from no where to break up the cycle though, and once in a while there is interesting investment info. And you should probably put underboob in between each cyclic event ;)

Exactly. That's why we (most of us) come back. If there was anything new or relevant, we couldn't handle it. I need my APC.......(sung by Dire Straits in the background).

You should call in sick. Don't try to be a hero and show up sick, then get everyone else sick. They can easily get a seat filler to replace you, and they will reschedule you. Try calling the training guys first, but I think their hours are 8-5, if you can't get ahold of anyone there, call crew sched.
